'''''Bengalee''''' was a three-masted merchant barque built in 1837 at Dumbarton, Scotland. She first appeared in Lloyd's Register in 1838 with Hamlin, master, Hamlin and Company, of Greenock, owners, and trade Clyde–Calcutta.<ref name=LR1838>[https://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015065537980?urlappend=%3Bseq=58 ''LR'' (1838), Seq.№134.]</ref> Captain Thomas Hamlin did not allow the consumption of alcohol on his ship, thus it was known as a |temperance ship. | |||

Hamburg to Port Adelaide, South Australia. ''Bengalee'' left Hamburg on 16 July 1838 and stopped at the Downs. She arrived at Kingscote, South Australia on 9 November and at Port Adelaide on 16 November. Although primarily carrying supplies, she also carried 27 passengers, among whom were a group of the first Prussian settlers to Australia. From Port Adelaide she sailed on 29 February 1839 to Batavia. | |||
